EPIC|Perfection (Gondor) vs POW|Glaurung (Mordor)


Stats for game : weirdperfectionvsglaurung
BFME version : 1.02
Players : EPIC|Perfection (#CW 91) vs POW|Glaurung (#CW 44)
Game played on : 2005-06-01
Duration: 00:23:36
Map : Fords of Isen


Match summary:
While defending his outside farms, Gondor got stables (with 2 farms in 2 BS in his base) and pumped out knights using them to defend his farms and to creep. Mordor started with a double-pit but couldn't get MC. Although Mordor got trolls to counter Gondor's knights, they couldn't keep the knights at bay. Gondor had 4 very successful raids on Mordor's base, in the end of the game with 5 FU knights. Even a Nazgul couldn't prevent them from destroying the base. And along came Gandalf killing the Nazgul. GG.

EPIC|Perfection (Gondor)

smile.gif very nice start, took 3 settlements
thumb.gif good job defending your farms with soldiers and later with knights. Never lost the farms on your side of the map. Helped a lot to get knights faster.
smile.gif attacked his base as soon as horse-shield came destryoing some towers
sad.gif if there's 1 troll and you have 3 knights, don't leave, he only can attack one of them. Run away with the knights who are attacked, keep attacking with the rest. In addition, don't ride though the middle of his base where all his orcs are, they slow you down a lot, you had to take lots of arrows due to that.
thumb.gif killed 1st troll with your knights /w blades!
thumb.gif managed to kill his 2 trolls with 3 knights in 2nd raid to his base
w00t.gif excellent 3rd raid on his base. Summoned rohirrim at right side of his base, he sent his trolls to them and you sent your FU knights in his base from the other side. Destroyed both pits and troll cage
thumb.gif Your final assault, first lured his nazgul away by attacking his upper OP, then sent your other knights into his base. Ingnored his nazgul and troll while taking down his base.
bowdown.gif killed his nazgul with Gandalf's lightning-sword!

Player summary:
You played extremely well! Except for your first raid, I don't have much to critisize.
Especially your tactic (distracting him with rohirrim summon) was excellent! wub.gif Nice killing of Nazgul with Ganfalf's LS!
You even got Faramir before, just in case. Excellent!

Player rating: 8.5/10

POW|Glaurung (Mordor)[
smile.gif placement of pits. Attacking knights must ride through your base to destryo both pits.
mad.gif let him get a 3rd settlement on your side of the map.
smile.gif waited with picking your 1st power till you knew what he had picked
smile.gif early tower in base
mad.gif several times during early-game you had orcs standing around somewhere. This is a little but important detail! With the support of those idling orcs, your chances to destroy his farms would've been much better!
thum.gif put orcs in the middle of your base to slow down his knights
mad.gif don't send you troll in his castle by pursuing his knights!
mellow.gif trolls got trees. Good but you should've done this earlier
VeryFunny.gif (KEY) delayed your nazgul by getting the OP at the top!

Player summary:
I could see that you're not a bad player. The problem was that your opponent's timing and micro was very good, while yours (the the idling orcs!) needs improvement. It's so important to destroy his farms!
Also don't attack his knights with single trolls without trees. You'll need at least 2 trolls PLUS the eye.
But the most important thing imho was to get this OP instead of saving the money to get the nazgul faster.
And it didn't help that your opponent's tactic was awesome... wink.gif

Player rating: 5/10

Overall summary:
Are you tired of super-long Gondor-Mordor matches? Wanna see an interesting strat vs. Mordor?
Watch this rep!
Fast-paced, constant action, no boring turtling and sieges.
Very, very well played by Gondor.
The strat is interesting but if Mordor would've avoided some mistakes, I think the strat woul've failed.
But I'd really like to see this strat vs. a better (or maybe even the same?) Mordor.

Overall rating: 7/10

Very nice review, Major thumb.gif!

Good to see we don't differ too much in our observations.

But next time please, please don't review a match which is already reviewed.
I mean, it's just unnecessary work, isn't it?

Whatever, keep up the good work! biggrin.gif

P.S.: Change the color of your summary, green is very hard to read withe the BFME default-skin.

ya, i know my play wasn´t very good in this game, and tbh, im not surprised. I dont play mordor anymore, i now play isengard, and the only reason i played this game was because perfection wanted to try this strat out tongue.gif
